Has Rafa definitely confirmed his appearance here, out of interest?  |

Has Rafa definitely confirmed his appearance here, out of interest? I have no idea - that was my original question several posts ago ... |

His doctor said last week that he has no doubt that in a maximum of 4 weeks Rafa will be 100% but nothing has been confirmed. Rafa hasn't been allowed to practice since his exhibition with Hewitt, only swimming and gym work so not the best position to be in going into an MS as the defending champion. Doubt he'll be able to spank Andy in the SF at least.  |

It's 2012!

I think the dates include the qualifying and the qualifying will probably start on the Saturday.

Can't wait to see Rafa again. Wimbledon was not the same without him. At least he would have seen Fed off.Now its down to ARod and I hope he does it. He was a real sport about Andy yesterday and apologised to the crowd for beating their man. A whole month - I've constructive things to do Daisy but my enthusiasm is silch at the moment.

I've got oodles of things to do also, just need to get off my duff and do them. I do need a fairly regular diet of tennis though - good tennis, not mediocre - oh well, just have to be a bit patient. |

PLEASE LET THIS BE SO ............... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-1197696/Nadal-s-camp-insist-ll-ready-Montreal.htmlPerez Barbadillo said yesterday: ‘The plan is still very much that he plays in the Montreal Masters beginning on August 10. He is entered into it and that is what will happen if things go as we think they will. ‘There seem to be experts giving opinions about Rafa’s knee from a long distance when they have no details and have no knowledge of his condition. He has his own specialists and they are the only ones who are qualified to give proper opinions. It is disrespectful to Rafa and his doctors for those who have not examined him to be saying how he is.’ Could there be any chance of a return sooner? ‘You never know with this guy,’ he replied.  |

He's walking around with a logo version of his own name? I thought that sort of stuff was just for the likes of Federer.
